[0001] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202310710392.X, filed on June 14, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for wireless perception of environmental depth. Background Art

[0003] Currently, in wireless communication systems, full-duplex base stations can use radars deployed within the base station to transmit sensing signals in all directions within the environment and receive the sensing signals reflected by the environment (i.e., echo signals). The full-duplex base station analyzes these echo signals to obtain sensing information about each sensing object in the environment.

[0004] However, full-duplex base stations have significant limitations and have not been widely used in current wireless communication systems, resulting in the above communication perception method being unable to achieve ubiquitous communication perception.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, and computer-readable storage medium for wireless perception of environmental depth, which can achieve ubiquitous communication perception.

[0007] In one aspect, a method for wirelessly sensing an environment in depth is provided, comprising:

[0008] Receive an echo signal, where the echo signal is a signal generated after the sensing signal sent by the sensing transmitting base station is reflected by a sensing object in the environment; the sensing object in the environment includes a dynamic sensing object and a stationary sensing object;

[0009] According to the echo signal, the perception information of the stationary perception object is determined.

[0010] In another aspect, a communication device is provided, comprising: a communication unit and a processing unit;

[0011] A communication unit is configured to receive an echo signal, where the echo signal is a signal generated after the sensing signal sent by the sensing transmitting base station is reflected by a sensing object in the environment; the sensing object in the environment includes a dynamic sensing object and a stationary sensing object;

[0012] The processing unit is used to determine the perception information of the stationary perception object according to the echo signal.

[0013] On the other hand, a communication node is provided, comprising: a memory and a processor; the memory and the processor are coupled; the memory is used to store a computer program; and when the processor executes the computer program, the wireless perception method of the environment depth of any of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0014] On the other hand, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which computer program instructions are stored. When the computer program instructions are executed by a processor, the wireless perception method of the environmental depth of any of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0015] On the other hand, a computer program product is provided, which includes computer program instructions, and when the computer program instructions are executed by a processor, the method for wireless perception of environmental depth according to any one of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0016] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for wirelessly sensing the depth of the environment. This method separates the entity that transmits the sensing signal from the entity that receives the echo signal, so that the base stations in the embodiment of the present application are all non-full-duplex base stations. That is, the sensing signal is sent by the non-full-duplex base station (i.e., the sensing transmitting base station), and the echo signal is received by the non-full-duplex base station (i.e., the sensing receiving base station), and the sensing information of the stationary sensing objects in the environment is determined based on the above echo signals. Due to the smaller limitations of non-full-duplex base stations, non-full-duplex base stations are widely used in current wireless communication systems, so this can achieve extensive communication perception of stationary sensing objects in the environment.

[0017] Secondly, non-full-duplex base stations can send perception signals and receive echo signals through general communication functions without the need for additional deployment devices, thereby achieving ubiquitous communication perception of stationary perception objects in the environment while ensuring deployment costs.

[0018] Thirdly, the perception receiving base station only determines the perception information of the stationary perception objects in the environment based on the echo signal, so as to avoid the interference of the dynamic perception objects on the communication perception of the above-mentioned overall environment, thereby improving the quality of the communication perception of the overall environment.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Industrial revolutions are divided into different stages of industrial development. The first industrial revolution was the steam engine era, the second was electrification, the third was information technology, and the fourth industrial revolution (the current era) is the intelligent era. In this era, intelligent technology will not only penetrate into people's lives, bringing great convenience and new experiences, but will also penetrate into all walks of life, enabling industrial upgrades and improving industrial efficiency through intelligent technology. This will greatly free people from the constraints of low-level production.

[0036] Current industrial development is in the era of the fourth work revolution (i.e., the intelligent stage). At present, intelligent technologies mainly include ubiquitous sensing technology, ubiquitous computing technology, and intelligent product research and development technology. Among them, ubiquitous sensing technology is of great significance to the development of the fourth work revolution era. For example, in autonomous driving scenarios, ubiquitous sensing technology can be used to determine the distance and position information of perceived objects in the environment in order to provide accurate environmental information. The above-mentioned ubiquitous sensing technology needs to be applied to ubiquitous systems. In current systems, only wireless communication systems can carry the above-mentioned ubiquitous sensing technology. In view of this, utilizing widely existing wireless networks to achieve ubiquitous sensing is an important requirement of the intelligent era, and achieving ubiquitous sensing through wireless communication systems has become a major feasible technical route. In addition, wireless communication systems can also carry the above-mentioned ubiquitous computing technology.

[0037] Currently, in wireless communication systems, communication perception of the environment can be achieved through the following methods: 1 and 2. Method 1: Communication perception of the environment is achieved based on vision. Method 2: Communication perception of the environment is achieved based on radar. The following describes the above methods 1 and 2 respectively:

[0038] Method 1: Realize communication perception of the environment based on vision.

[0039] The process of achieving visual communication perception of the environment can be as follows: deploying and activating an image acquisition device on a base station, enabling the image acquisition device to acquire environmental images. The base station performs operations such as segmentation and recognition on the environmental images acquired by the image acquisition device to obtain environmental data.

[0040] Problems with Method 1: If communication perception of the environment is achieved based on vision, additional image acquisition devices need to be deployed, which increases deployment costs. In addition, the image acquisition devices have limitations in capturing environmental images and are not easy to deploy, resulting in an inability to capture environmental images more comprehensively, and thus, an inability to achieve ubiquitous perception. Furthermore, the image acquisition device cannot distinguish between dynamic perception objects and static perception objects in the environment, and therefore cannot achieve targeted communication perception of static perception objects in the environment. Furthermore, current communication perception can only perceive the overall environment and cannot distinguish between dynamic perception objects and static perception objects in the environment. Dynamic perception objects will interfere with the above-mentioned overall environmental perception, thereby affecting the perception effect of the environment.

[0041] Method 2: Realize communication perception of the environment based on radar.

[0042] The process of implementing radar-based ubiquitous sensing can be as follows: A radar is deployed and activated on a base station, allowing it to transmit radar sensing signals in all directions in space. The base station then aggregates and receives radar sensing signals reflected by the environment or sensing objects (i.e., radar echo signals) to form a point cloud. The base station then processes this point cloud to generate environmental data.

[0043] Problems with Method 2: If radar-based perception is used, additional radars need to be deployed, increasing deployment costs. Furthermore, radars can only be deployed in full-duplex base stations, and each still has interference issues, which has significant limitations. This prevents full-duplex base stations from being used on a large scale, and thus prevents ubiquitous perception. Current wireless communication systems mainly include non-full-duplex base stations (e.g., transmitting base stations, time-division multiplexing receiving base stations, and frequency-division multiplexing receiving base stations). However, radars cannot be applied to non-full-duplex base stations, resulting in the inability of non-full-duplex base stations to achieve ubiquitous perception. Furthermore, current communication perception can only perceive the overall environment and cannot distinguish between dynamic and static perception objects in the environment. Dynamic perception objects will interfere with the communication perception of the overall environment, thereby affecting the perception of the environment.

[0044] The wireless perception method of the depth of the environment provided by the embodiment of the present application separates the subject of transmitting the perception signal from the subject of receiving the echo signal, so that the base stations in the embodiment of the present application are all non-full-duplex base stations, that is, the perception signal is sent by the non-full-duplex base station (i.e., the perception transmitting base station), and the echo signal is received by the non-full-duplex base station (i.e., the perception receiving base station), and the perception information of the stationary perception object in the environment is determined based on the above echo signal. Due to the smaller limitations of the non-full-duplex base station, the non-full-duplex base station is widely used in the current wireless communication system, so it can achieve extensive communication perception of the stationary perception objects in the environment.

[0045] Secondly, non-full-duplex base stations can send perception signals and receive echo signals through general communication functions without the need for additional deployment devices, thereby achieving ubiquitous communication perception of stationary perception objects in the environment while ensuring deployment costs.

[0046] Thirdly, the perception receiving base station only determines the perception information of the stationary perception objects in the environment based on the echo signal, so as to avoid the interference of the dynamic perception objects on the communication perception of the above-mentioned overall environment, thereby improving the quality of the communication perception of the overall environment.

[0047] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various wireless communication systems, for example, new radio (NR) wireless communication systems using fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), future evolution systems, or multiple communication convergence systems.

[0048] For example, FIG1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a wireless communication system 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The wireless communication system 10 may include a sensing transmitting base station 101 and at least one sensing receiving base station 102. FIG1 shows only one sensing transmitting base station 101 and two sensing receiving base stations 102.

[0049] The perception receiving base station 102 is used to receive the echo signal and determine the perception information of the stationary perception object based on the echo signal.

[0050] The echo signal is a signal generated after the sensing signal transmitted by the sensing transmitting base station 101 is reflected by a sensing object in the environment. The sensing object in the environment includes dynamic sensing objects and stationary sensing objects.

[0051] In some implementations, the sensing transmitting base station 101 may transmit sensing signals in different preset transmission directions. As shown in FIG1 , the five sensing signals in FIG1 correspond to different preset transmission directions. A direction includes an azimuth angle and an elevation angle. For example, the preset transmission azimuth angles of the five sensing signals in FIG1 are dp, d0, dn, dm, and dl, respectively, and the preset transmission elevation angles of the five sensing signals in FIG1 are θp, θ0, θn, θm, and θl, respectively.

[0052] It should be noted that a series of synchronizations such as time synchronization and configuration information synchronization are required between the sensing transmitting base station 101 and the sensing receiving base station 102 to lay the foundation for the subsequent sensing transmitting base station 101 and the sensing receiving base station 102 to assist in communication perception.

[0053] The sensing transmitting base station 101 and the sensing receiving base station 102 can also be referred to as a radio access network node (RAN node) or access network equipment. The radio access network node is used to implement wireless physical layer functions, resource scheduling and wireless resource management, wireless access control and mobility management functions, service quality management, data compression and encryption and other functions. Among them, the access network equipment is used to provide communication coverage for a specific geographical area and communicate with terminal devices in the covered area (cell). The sensing transmitting base station 101 and the sensing receiving base station 102 can specifically be various forms of control nodes (for example, network controllers, wireless controllers (for example, wireless controllers in cloud radio access network (CRAN) scenarios)), etc. Among them, the sensing transmitting base station 101 and the sensing receiving base station 102 include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations (also called small stations), relay stations and access points (APs), etc.

[0054] In systems using different wireless access technologies, the names of devices having the functions of sensing the transmitting base station 101 and sensing the receiving base station 102 may be different. For example, in an LTE system, it may be an evolved NodeB (eNB or eNodeB), in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) scenario, it may be a micro base station eNB, in a distributed base station scenario, it may be a base band unit (BBU) and a remote radio unit (RRU), in a CRAN scenario, it may be a base band pool (BBU pool) and RRU, in a 5G system or NR system, it may be a next generation node base station (gNB). This application does not limit the specific names of the sensing transmitting base station 101 and the sensing receiving base station 102. The access network device may also be an access network device in a future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), etc.

[0055] It should be noted that Figure 1 is only an exemplary framework diagram. The number of nodes and the names of the various devices included in Figure 1 are not restricted. In addition to the functional nodes shown in Figure 1, the wireless communication system 10 may also include other nodes (for example, application servers). This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0056] The application scenarios of the embodiments of this application are not limited. The system architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of this application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application. It is known to those skilled in the art that with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0057] FIG2 is a flow chart of a wireless sensing method for environmental depth provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method may include:

[0058] S201: A sensing transmitting base station sends a sensing signal, and correspondingly, a sensing receiving base station receives an echo signal.

[0059] The echo signal is a signal generated after the sensing signal sent by the sensing transmitting base station is reflected by a sensing object in the environment. The sensing objects in the environment include dynamic sensing objects and stationary sensing objects.

[0060] In some embodiments, the application server may send configuration information to each of the sensing transmitting base station and the sensing receiving base station. The configuration information includes: time information for the first sensing signal transmission, period information, time-frequency resource information, and directional transmission rules. The period information includes the sensing signal transmission period and the number of moments in the sensing signal transmission period. The directional transmission rules include: an initial direction and a directional step size.

[0061] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned direction may include an azimuth angle and / or an elevation angle. In the case where the direction includes an azimuth angle and an elevation angle, the direction sending rule may include (α1, α1+i*dα) and (β1, β1+k*dβ). Where α1 is the initial azimuth angle. dα is the step size of the azimuth angle. β1 is the initial pitch angle. dβ is the step size of the pitch angle. i and k are both positive integers.

[0062] In conjunction with the above example, taking the maximum value of i as 50 and the maximum value of k as 60 as an example, the sensing transmitting base station may record (α1+50dα) as α2 and (β1+60dβ) as β2. In this example, the sensing transmitting base station may traverse and send sensing signals within the azimuth angle range (i.e., (α1, α2)) and the elevation angle range (i.e., (β1, β2)).

[0063] As an implementation, the implementation process of S201 may include: sensing a sensing signal sent by the transmitting base station in a transmission direction in the nth period. Sensing that the receiving base station receives an echo signal in the nth period. The echo signal includes a signal resulting from reflection of the sensing signal sent by the transmitting base station in the transmission direction in the nth period by a sensing object in the environment. n is a positive integer.

[0064] In some examples, the stationary perceived object includes at least one of the following: the ground, the sky, a building, and a stool. The above are only some exemplary descriptions of stationary perceived objects. The stationary perceived objects may also include other objects (e.g., a tree), and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0065] It should be noted that the reflections described in the embodiments of the present application may also be scattering, and the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0066] In some examples, the echo signal may be a single-path signal or a multi-path signal, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0067] S202: The perception receiving base station determines perception information of the stationary perception object according to the echo signal.

[0068] In some embodiments, the implementation process of S202 may include: the sensing receiving base station may analyze the echo signal to obtain sensing data related to all sensing objects in the environment, and extract sensing data related to stationary sensing objects in the environment from the sensing data related to all sensing objects in the environment. The sensing receiving base station may determine sensing information of the stationary sensing objects based on the sensing data related to the stationary sensing objects in the environment.

[0069] In some examples, the perception information may include the location and / or the signal strength of the echo signal. The above are only some exemplary descriptions of the perception information. The perception information may also include other information (e.g., length, width, height, and direction), and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0070] In some embodiments, the perception receiving base station can directly draw a perception environment map based on the perception information of the stationary perception object, and can also send the perception information of the stationary perception object to the application server so that the application server can draw a perception environment map based on the perception information of the stationary perception object.

[0071] It should be noted that if there is only one sensing receiving base station, the sensing receiving base station can directly draw the sensing environment map based on the sensing information of stationary sensing objects, thereby reducing the computing pressure on the application server. If there are multiple sensing receiving base stations, each sensing receiving base station can send the sensing information of stationary sensing objects to the application server. The application server will summarize the sensing information of stationary sensing objects perceived by each sensing receiving base station and draw the sensing environment map based on this summarized information, thus ensuring the comprehensiveness of the sensing environment map.

[0072] In some examples, the above-mentioned perceived environment map can be a grayscale image, an image in a raw format, or an image in a red, green, blue (RGB) format. The above is only an exemplary description of the perceived environment map, and the perceived environment map can also be other images, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0073] The wireless perception method of the depth of the environment provided by the embodiment of the present application separates the subject of transmitting the perception signal from the subject of receiving the echo signal, so that the base stations in the embodiment of the present application are all non-full-duplex base stations, that is, the perception signal is sent by the non-full-duplex base station (i.e., the perception transmitting base station), and the echo signal is received by the non-full-duplex base station (i.e., the perception receiving base station), and the perception information of the stationary perception object in the environment is determined based on the above echo signal. Due to the smaller limitations of the non-full-duplex base station, the non-full-duplex base station is widely used in the current wireless communication system, so it can achieve extensive communication perception of the stationary perception objects in the environment.

[0074] Secondly, non-full-duplex base stations can send perception signals and receive echo signals through general communication functions without the need for additional deployment devices, thereby achieving ubiquitous communication perception of stationary perception objects in the environment while ensuring deployment costs.

[0075] Thirdly, the perception receiving base station only determines the perception information of the stationary perception objects in the environment based on the echo signal, so as to avoid the interference of the dynamic perception objects on the communication perception of the above-mentioned overall environment, thereby improving the quality of the communication perception of the overall environment.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , when the echo signal includes echo signals received at multiple time instants in the nth cycle based on multiple antenna channels, an embodiment of the present application further provides a wireless perception method for environmental depth, the method comprising the following steps:

[0077] S301: The sensing receiving base station performs Doppler analysis on the echo signal to obtain environmental sensing data.

[0078] The environmental sensing data is used to represent the impulse response sequence of the echo signal reflected by the stationary sensing object. The impulse response sequence is used to represent the phase information and amplitude information of the echo signal under different time delays.

[0079] In some embodiments, the implementation process of the above S301 may be: the sensing receiving base station performs Doppler analysis on the echo signal to obtain a delay Doppler spectrum, and determines the data in the delay Doppler spectrum that is within a preset frequency range as the environmental sensing data.

[0080] In conjunction with the above embodiment, when the echo signal includes echo signals received at multiple times in the nth cycle based on multiple antenna channels, the implementation process of the above S301 may specifically be: the perception receiving base station may analyze the echo signals received by each antenna channel at multiple times in the nth cycle to obtain the delay-Doppler spectrum of the echo signal received by each antenna channel, and extract data within a preset frequency range from the delay-Doppler spectrum of the echo signal received by each antenna channel to obtain the environmental perception data of the echo signal received by each antenna channel. The perception receiving base station determines the environmental perception data of the echo signals received by the multiple antenna channels as the above environmental perception data.

[0081] It is understandable that, because data within a preset frequency range in the Delay-Doppler spectrum can represent perception data related to a perception object that has not undergone frequency shift or perception data related to a perception object with a small frequency shift, the data within the preset frequency range in the Delay-Doppler spectrum can be used to represent perception data related to a stationary perception object (i.e., the impulse response sequence of the echo signal reflected by the stationary perception object). Given this, the perception receiving base station filters the data in the Delay-Doppler spectrum and identifies the data within the preset frequency range in the Delay-Doppler spectrum as environmental perception data. This distinguishes perception data related to dynamic perception objects from perception data related to static perception objects, and eliminates perception data related to dynamic perception objects, thereby avoiding interference caused by dynamic perception objects on the above-mentioned overall environmental perception, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating interference.

[0082] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving base station performs Doppler analysis on the echo signal to obtain the delay-Doppler spectrum, which may be implemented by: the sensing receiving base station calculates the time-domain impulse response of the echo signal at multiple time points in the nth period based on the echo signal received at the multiple time points, and analyzes the time-domain impulse response of the echo signal at the multiple time points to obtain the delay-Doppler spectrum. The sensing receiving base station may determine the delay-Doppler spectrum of the echo signal received by each antenna channel based on the above method.

[0083] In some examples, Figure 4 shows an example of a delay-Doppler spectrum of an echo signal obtained after the perception signal #1 (i.e., a perception signal transmitted at an azimuth angle of 44° and a pitch angle of -20°) is reflected by a perception object in the environment. As shown in Figure 4, the X-axis of the delay-Doppler spectrum is used to represent the frequency, the Y-axis of the delay-Doppler spectrum is used to represent the time, and the Z-axis of the delay-Doppler spectrum is used to represent the phase information and amplitude information of the echo signal. The perception receiving base station extracts data within a preset frequency range from the above-mentioned delay-Doppler spectrum and determines it as environmental perception data, and can display the environmental perception data in the form of an impulse response sequence. Figure 5 shows an example of an impulse response sequence. As shown in Figure 5, the X-axis of the impulse response sequence is used to represent the time, and the Y-axis of the impulse response sequence is used to represent the phase information and amplitude information of the echo signal.

[0084] As an example, the preset frequency range may be [-threshold 1, threshold 1]. Threshold 1 may be 5 Hz. The above is only an exemplary description of threshold 1. Threshold 1 may also be other values ​​(e.g., 10 Hz), and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0085] S302: The perception receiving base station determines perception information of the stationary perception object based on the environmental perception data.

[0086] In some embodiments, the implementation process of the above-mentioned S302 may be: the perception receiving base station may analyze the environmental perception data of the echo signals received by multiple antenna channels included in the above-mentioned environmental perception data to obtain the perception information of a point, and when the point is a single reflection point, determine the perception information of the point as the perception information of a stationary perception object.

[0087] In an embodiment of the present application, the perception receiving base station can perform Doppler analysis on the echo signal to obtain perception data about the stationary perception object, and determine the perception information of the stationary perception object based on the perception data about the stationary perception object, thereby providing an implementation method for the perception receiving base station to determine the perception information of the stationary perception object.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for wirelessly sensing an environment depth, the method comprising the following steps:

[0089] S601: The perception receiving base station determines perception information of a primary reflection point based on environmental perception data.

[0090] The primary reflection point is the point where the sensing signal is reflected by the stationary sensing object for the first time.

[0091] In some examples, a sensing signal can be reflected multiple times by multiple parts of a stationary sensing object. Figure 7 illustrates an example of multiple reflections. As shown in Figure 7, a sensing signal 1 transmitted by a sensing transmitting base station is reflected for the first time by surface a of stationary sensing object 1. In this case, the sensing receiving base station uses point a' on surface a of stationary sensing object 1 as the primary reflection point. If the sensing signal needs to be reflected again, the sensing receiving base station can receive the echo signal after the sensing signal is reflected from the primary reflection point. The energy corresponding to this echo signal is the scattered energy.

[0092] After the above-mentioned perception signal 1 is reflected for the first time on the a-surface of the stationary perception object 1, it is reflected again on the b-surface of the stationary perception object 1. In this case, the perception receiving base station can use point b' on the b-surface of the stationary perception object 1 as the secondary reflection point.

[0093] The sensing signal can also be reflected multiple times by multiple stationary sensing objects. For example, if sensing signal 2 transmitted by the sensing transmitting base station is reflected for the first time by stationary sensing object 2, the sensing receiving base station may use point c' of stationary sensing object 2 as the primary reflection point. If sensing signal 2 is reflected again by stationary sensing object 3 after the primary reflection by stationary sensing object 2, the sensing receiving base station may use point d' of stationary sensing object 3 as the secondary reflection point. If the sensing signal does not need to be reflected again, the sensing receiving base station may receive the echo signal of the sensing signal after it is reflected at the secondary reflection point. The energy corresponding to this echo signal is the reflected energy.

[0094] S602: The perception receiving base station determines the perception information of the primary reflection point as the perception information of the stationary perception object.

[0095] In combination with the above example, the sensing receiving base station may determine the sensing information at point a' of surface a of stationary sensing object 1 as the sensing information of the stationary sensing object. Alternatively, the sensing receiving base station may determine the sensing information at point c' of stationary sensing object 2 as the sensing information of the stationary sensing object.

[0096] In this embodiment of the present application, because the transmission path and transmission time of the echo signal obtained after multiple reflections are difficult to estimate, it is difficult for the perception receiving base station to determine the accuracy of the perception information of multiple reflection points. In view of this, the perception receiving base station determines the perception information of the single reflection point based on the environmental perception data, and determines the perception information of the single reflection point as the perception information of the stationary perception object. This can improve the accuracy of the determined perception information of the stationary perception object.

[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for wirelessly sensing an environment depth, the method comprising the following steps:

[0098] S801. The perception receiving base station determines perception information of a candidate reflection point based on environmental perception data.

[0099] The selected reflection point is the midpoint of the shortest line segment between the transmitting direction and the receiving direction. The transmitting direction is the direction in which the sensing transmitting base station sends the sensing signal. The receiving direction is the direction in which the sensing receiving base station receives the echo signal.

[0100] Based on the above description of the perception information, it can be seen that the perception information may include the position and the strength of the echo signal. The following describes the implementation process of the perception receiving base station determining the position of the candidate reflection point and the strength of the echo signal based on the environmental perception data.

[0101] In some embodiments, the sensing receiving base station determines the location of the candidate reflection point based on environmental sensing data by: determining the peak value of the first path from an impulse response sequence, analyzing the peak values ​​of the first paths of multiple antenna channels to obtain the angle of arrival of the first path. The sensing receiving base station determines the location of the candidate reflection point based on the location of the sensing receiving base station, the transmission angle of the sensing signal, the location of the sensing transmitting base station, and the angle of arrival of the first path. The first path is the first path in the impulse response sequence of the sensing signal with a peak value greater than a second preset threshold.

[0102] It should be noted that the sensing receiving base station may set the second preset threshold based on experience. For example, the sensing receiving base station may set the second preset threshold to a noise value. The above is only an exemplary description of the second preset threshold. The second preset threshold may also be other values, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0103] In some implementations, the above-mentioned perception receiving base station analyzes the peak values ​​of the first paths of multiple antenna channels to obtain the angle of arrival of the first path, which can be determined by the following method 1 and method 2. Among them, method 1 is that the perception receiving base station analyzes the peak values ​​of the first paths of multiple antenna channels based on spatial filtering to obtain the angle of arrival of the first path. Method 2 is that the perception receiving base station analyzes the peak values ​​of the first paths of multiple antenna channels based on multiple signal classification (MUSIC) to obtain the angle of arrival of the first path. The above-mentioned method 1 and method 2 are respectively explained below.

[0104] Method 1 can be implemented as follows: the sensing receiving base station can multiply the peak value of the first path of each antenna channel by the phase to determine the beamforming value for each antenna channel, and sum the beamforming values ​​for each antenna channel to obtain the target value for the phase. Based on the above method, the sensing receiving base station determines the target values ​​for multiple phases and determines the arrival angle of the first path based on the phase with the largest target value.

[0105] Method 2 can be implemented as follows: the sensing receiving base station can form a matrix based on the peak value of the first path of each antenna channel and perform eigendecomposition on the matrix to obtain an echo signal subspace corresponding to the echo signal component and a noise subspace orthogonal to the echo signal component. The sensing receiving base station estimates the arrival angle of the first path using the orthogonality of the echo signal subspace and the noise subspace.

[0106] It should be noted that the above-mentioned method 1 and method 2 are only exemplary descriptions of the implementation process of the perception receiving base station analyzing the peak value of the first path of multiple antenna channels to obtain the arrival angle of the first path. The perception receiving base station can also use other methods to analyze the peak value of the first path of multiple antenna channels to obtain the arrival angle of the first path. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0107] In some examples, the above-mentioned arrival angle includes a pitch angle and / or an azimuth angle. The above is only an exemplary description of the arrival angle, and the arrival angle can also be other angles, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0108] In some implementations, the sensing receiving base station determines the location of the candidate reflection point based on the sensing receiving base station's location, the sensing signal's transmission angle, the sensing transmitting base station's location, and the angle of arrival of the first path, using the following methods 3 and 4. Method 3 involves the sensing receiving base station directly determining the location of the candidate reflection point. Method 4 involves the sensing receiving base station determining the location of the candidate reflection point when the length of the shortest line segment between the transmitting direction and the receiving direction is less than or equal to a third preset threshold. Methods 3 and 4 are described below.

[0109] Method 3 can be implemented as follows: the sensing receiving base station constructs a straight line equation for the transmission direction based on the sensing transmitting base station's position and the transmission angle of the sensing signal, and constructs a straight line equation for the reception direction based on the sensing receiving base station's position and the angle of arrival of the first path. The sensing receiving base station can determine the shortest line segment between the transmission direction and the reception direction using the straight line equations for the transmission direction and the reception direction, and determine the midpoint of the shortest line segment as the position of the candidate reflection point.

[0110] Method 4 may be implemented as follows: the sensing receiving base station may determine whether the length of the shortest line segment is less than or equal to a third preset threshold. If the length of the shortest line segment is less than or equal to the third preset threshold, the sensing receiving base station may determine the position of the candidate reflection point based on method 3.

[0111] It should be noted that the sensing receiving base station may set the third preset threshold based on experience. For example, the sensing receiving base station may set the third preset threshold to 50 meters. The above is only an exemplary description of the third preset threshold. The third preset threshold may also be other values ​​(for example, 45 meters), and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0112] It is understandable that if the length of the shortest line segment is long, it can indicate that the transmission direction of the perception signal and the receiving direction are unlikely to intersect, while the transmission direction of a normal perception signal and the receiving direction of a normal echo signal will intersect. Based on the above, when the length of the shortest line segment is greater than the third preset threshold, the perception receiving base station can determine that there is an estimation error in the receiving direction. This eliminates the need to estimate the position of the candidate reflection point based on an incorrect first path arrival angle, thereby saving redundant calculations.

[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned methods 3 and 4 are only exemplary descriptions of the implementation process of the sensing receiving base station determining the position of the selected reflection point based on the sensing receiving base station position, the sensing signal transmission angle, the sensing transmitting base station position, and the first path arrival angle. The sensing receiving base station can also use other methods to determine the position of the selected reflection point based on the sensing receiving base station position, the sensing signal transmission angle, the sensing transmitting base station position, and the first path arrival angle. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0114] For example, with reference to Figure 5, the impulse response sequence shown in Figure 5 includes five peak values. The first and second peak values ​​of these five peak values ​​are both less than or equal to the second preset threshold. The third peak value of these five paths is greater than the second preset threshold. In this example, the sensing receiving base station may determine the path corresponding to the third peak value as the first path. Furthermore, the sensing receiving base station may determine the path corresponding to the fourth peak value as the second path.

[0115] In some embodiments, the implementation process of the perception receiving base station determining the signal strength of the echo signal obtained after being reflected by the selected reflection point based on the environmental perception data can be: the perception receiving base station determines the modulus value in the peak value of the first path as the signal strength of the echo signal obtained after being reflected by the selected reflection point.

[0116] For example, Figure 9 shows an example of a candidate reflection point. As shown in Figure 9, the shortest line segment between the transmitting direction and the receiving direction is line segment d, and point O is the midpoint of line segment d. In this example, the candidate reflection point is point O.

[0117] S802: When the difference between the sum of the first distance and the second distance and the transmission distance of the perception signal is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, the perception receiving base station determines the perception information of the candidate reflection point as the perception information of the primary reflection point.

[0118] Among them, the first distance is the distance between the selected reflection point and the perception receiving base station, and the second distance is the distance between the selected reflection point and the perception transmitting base station.

[0119] For example, take the first distance D1 as 500 meters, the second distance D2 as 800 meters, the transmission distance D3 as 1250 meters, and the first preset threshold as 80 meters: since the sum of the first distance and the second distance is 50 meters different from the transmission distance of the perception signal, and the first preset threshold is 80 meters, the perception receiving base station can determine that |D1+D2-D3| is less than the first preset threshold, and then determine the perception information of the selected reflection point as the perception information of the primary reflection point.

[0120] It should be noted that the sensing receiving base station may set the first preset threshold based on experience. For example, the sensing receiving base station may set the first preset threshold to 80 meters. The above is only an exemplary description of the first preset threshold. The first preset threshold may also be other values ​​(for example, 70 meters), and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0121] In some embodiments, the implementation process of the sensing receiving base station determining the transmission distance can be: the sensing receiving base station determines the time of the peak of the first path from the impulse response sequence, and determines the product of the time of the peak of the first path and the transmission speed as the transmission distance.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, the perception receiving base station obtains perception information of a candidate reflection point based on environmental perception data analysis, and determines whether the candidate reflection point is accurate based on the sum of the distances between the candidate reflection point and each base station and the transmission distance. If the difference between the sum of the first distance and the second distance and the transmission distance is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, it can be indicated that the estimated transmission distance is less than the actual transmission distance, and the perception receiving base station can determine that the candidate reflection point is relatively accurate. In view of this, when the difference between the sum of the first distance and the second distance and the transmission distance of the perception signal is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, the perception receiving base station can determine the perception information of the candidate reflection point as the perception information of a primary reflection point, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined primary reflection point, and thereby improving the accuracy of the perception information of the determined stationary perception object.
